Oh -- and here's another thing:
Ran out of Evo on Sunday night. So Monday I go by the feed store but they're out. Well I had a sample of some dog food I got from a guy at our doggie playdate. Gave it Einstein (doctored with some sardines). He looked at me like "You don't really expect me to eat this crap, do you?" He ate it. Acted starving the next morning, so I indulged him again (the EVO is so high protein he only eats 3 cups at night).
Come home yesterday and Einstein's standing several feet from the door. And the house reeked. I go around looking for the source, see some drops of runny poop under my work table (in a room Einstein NEVER goes in). Clean it up and smell is even stronger. Then I see, on a drop cloth, the biggest, nastiest pile of runny poop! He pooped on the drop cloth! Not on the wool rugs, or on the wood floors, but on the drop cloth! I just bundled it up and threw it away.
Now I ask you -- is that a smart dog, or what?
